Stand firm, you men!
| Root | עמד (ʿ-m-d) |
| Core Meanings | standing, firmness, stability, endurance, remaining, established presence |
| Semantic Range | to stand physically, to take one’s position, to remain, to endure, to present oneself, to serve or attend, to be established or confirmed |
| Conceptual Significance | עמד often marks decisive moments of readiness, covenant loyalty, judgment, or worship—standing before יהוה, before a leader, or in battle. It conveys steadfastness and accountability, highlighting the call to remain firm and present in obedience or resistance. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine plural. A direct command to multiple male addressees; simple active stem without causative or reflexive nuance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root עמד conveys the idea of standing, remaining, or holding one’s position. In the Qal imperative 2nd masculine plural, עִמְדוּ is a direct command addressed to a group of males, so "Stand firm, you men!" preserves both the concrete image of standing and the masculine plural force of the form. |
